He played a rock steady beat,
That rumbled as a train on its tracks.
The echoes rebellious stark.
Moving the nicotine in the chest.
Siphoning joy from the very air.
Distilling it down to a sound.
He played a rock steady beat,
The snare rasping like sand on grass.
Hip swaying and ecstasy led.
A blur of microphone humming.
Distorted and redacted down.
Making sense only to the senses.
He played a rock steady beat.
When summer heat promises darkness.
Sweat crawling spider like.
Unable to think through the noise.
A dream of bass note vibrations.
And white lightening feedback.

The smell of the Autumn breeze is amorous cleansing the air again of the hot summer months ordered duty to Autumn breeze and a story and a love feeling waving hello Making one wave of energy that waves a triumphant of being complete an everlasting tune or story. But winter is near.So at that time, I will unpack my winter clothes and some gear I hope to get at the store when the leaves fall from the trees and turn brown not green to ensure winter is almost here to get ready to rock steady were the snow flow far away from my house winter joys and taste brings winter love cabin fireplace and smoke the chimney flames the atmosphere with laughter.
With a breezy cheer, Autumn is here bringing thoughts of listening!
We sat at our favorite table facing the door in a relaxed position
singing an autumn song feeling the sweet nectar breezy healing the bones drinking rosemary tea and ginger my feet in a relaxed position recovering
from the chill in the air that wasn,t there before waves of autumn energy and movements is here is there in the air everywhere the breeze roam around the room. My face my hair my nose The smell of autumn is Amorous!

Awesome absolute of childhood exaltation -
Balloons embed dear youthful memories within.
Fascinating, joyful, colourful inflation,
Promise rock steady future on a thread, so thin.
Symbols of free and careless years of Truth or Dare,
As marvellous in hand as magic in the air.
Balloons epitomize a pristine paradigm -
Short stretch when we believe in "once upon a time".

I thought we were,
The perfect pair.
I thought we had it,
Special and rare.
I remember our talks,
Going to the bay.
Side by side,
We always met halfway.
If you leave, I surely
Would follow.
You ran away,
A hard pill to swallow.
I could never have,
Turned to another.
We were rock steady,
Then came your mother.
I believed in our love,
It Was one of a kind.
You and me together,
The stars have aligned.
My world shattered,
It is cold and dark.
This feeling of suffering,
This broken heart.
Now you look at me
With hate and disgust.
Justify it any way you need to,
If you must.
I gave you all I had,
I gave you, my best.
It proved too much for you,
My heart you still possess.
You are not solo,
I'm all alone.
All by myself,
My fate is unknown.
How do I make
This go away.
Waiting for you,
Forever and a day.

Perfectly formed in a challenging terrain,
low and squat they lie and ever ready
to shrug off Hebridean wind and rain,
with weathered roofs and walls rock steady.
In days of yore, a refuge from the storm,
now picturesque, and just a bit forlorn.

Perfectly formed in a challenging terrain,
low and squat they lie and ever-ready
to shrug off Hebridean wind and rain
with weathered roofs and walls rock-steady.
In days of yore, a refuge from the storm,
now picturesque, and just a bit forlorn.

When the mountain looked insurmountable
Your uncompromising stance made it assailable
When situations looked so scary and bleak
Your raw determination hauled us towards the peak
When the road to the top quaked and meandered
You steadied the boat continually and we never surrendered
When our situations seemed to defy our prayers
Your rock- steady disposition made us not to waiver
I salute you woman of courage
The rock of Gilbratar and the ultimate conqueror
You are the Queen of my heart!

Spreading peace, love and unity
From its roots in Jamaica
To each and every community.
This is reggae music —
The type of music that lifts your spirits,
The type of music that makes you want to smile
Every time you feel it.
So with the heart of a lion,
Stay forever ready,
Ready to move to a beat
So sweet and rock steady,
A beat sending out its good vibes
To each and everybody —
Born from the struggle,
Carved out of pain,
A song of survival
That still breaks the chains.

Revelations,
intimating sanctions,
sailing you to make-shifts,
assailing with blank lips-
I rock Hetty,
while she make's a day-list,
I'm rock steady,
but she's having her hanky tins.
We both have a family-
they all have flailing limbs,
why can't we get along on a train we ask?
But soon lose to space ships

Fever
Like Steam Distillation
My Temperature Is Peaking
Careful Darling
Don't Elevate Me Too Quickly
For My Goods Might Spoil
This Is Precious Cargo
You Know The Confidence My Hips Bare
You Know The Radiance Of My Quenched Hair
Darling You Know
Sugar I Know
Baby We Know
Patience Is The Essence Of Time
Peace Is Of Knowledge Divine
My Temperature Is Peaking
Careful Darling
Don't Elevate Me Too Quickly
For It Is Not A Fleeting Feeling I Seek
I Want Strong Roots
Baby Anchor Us Deep
Feed Me Your Consistence
And I Will Clothe You In My Persistent Care
Let Us Build Our Foundation
On The Solid Rock Of Salvation
So That We May Rock Steady
Until Our Last Days End
My Temperature Is Peaking
Careful Darling
Don't Elevate Me Too Quickly

I was yours before clouds formed
across morning sky, when panes get misty,
and finger tips rosy with blood.
I was yours before the sunrise,
you and me beneath the shade of apple trees,
lustful intents dripped from lips
flavoured at crunches of leathery flesh:
exhilaration, heaves of sugary sweetness.
In the darkness, we glowed,
my heart one with yours,
a wick on a candle stick
lit up with the flames of love,
then beating like a red drum, our hearts still,
sounding a chorus echoed in the dark silence,
a thump! and a thump!
Into your rock steady stance, I fall
into an embrace like paper written with words
of amour read out loud
covering your chest, I shall
with my ebony hair,
and entangle my fingers
in the twist on your head,
till slumber ropes our eye lids in a knot
And tie us in a bond of the night
love comes once you'll say
and as long as we are,
I am yours forever
Till the day breaks

Love, a fleeting feeling
Love, rock steady and secure
Love, unleashes hurt and pain
Love, heals one's whole domain
Love, perhaps a coincidence
Love, definitely a decision
Love, at worst, a biochemical reaction
Love, at best, a wholly divine collision

Mrs. Cuntley,
a widow is my landlady.
Chubby and kinda motherly
she cooks for me.
We drink on the weekends,
and the hot stuff begins.
In a see-through gown
she comes into my room and goes down.
I can’t resist
the passion in her hot kiss.
Horny and all perfumey
she rides, wildly!
We ride the powerful waves of ecstasy.
Tit for tat I like it like that, sexually.
A cougar that will not be denied
before she is satisfied.
Hot and sweaty
we rock steady.
I feel her coochie grip,
As she bites her lower lip.
She turns red
and throws back her head.
Suddenly,
we are blown out of the bed !

FINDING GOD
Like naughty kids return to mother’s love -
One moment without it they are in desperate sway;
Like divers finding air is good to breathe above -
If we forget, it doesn’t mean it goes away.
In our soul’s darkness we seek something
Which already surrounds, is always rock steady.
God is everywhere, permeates our being -
How could God not be here already?
We seek not God, but the way out of our darkness
To find again that God is loving kindness.

This is a story of a farmer
Who became an informer…
Displacement of this farmer
Was heartless, by a round belly
Robbing a Skinny belly
In a rock steady
See for any story
The context is essential
Like motivation,
An emotional state
Is the presence of stimuli
A thought ……..
But in this instance
There was no resistance
And the diction
Was nonfiction
But a contradiction
Of intuition..
To take ride of humiliation
And bear the scars of crucifixion……………..
TO BE CONTINUED>>>
